...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT FROM NOON EDT /11 AM CDT/
TODAY TO 8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ SUNDAY...

The National Weather Service in Northern Indiana has issued an
Excessive Heat Warning...which is in effect from noon EDT /11 AM
CDT/ today to 8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ Sunday. The Excessive Heat
Watch is no longer in effect.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER...

* Long duration extreme heat event. Temperatures will peak into
the lower to middle 90s today and Sunday, with middle to upper
90s on Saturday. Heat indices will reach near 105 today and
Sunday, around 110 on Saturday.

* Humid with low temperatures in the middle 70s tonight and
Saturday night.

IMPACTS...

* The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will
lead to an increased risk of heat related stress and illness.
The very young, the elderly, those without air conditioning,
and those participating in strenuous outdoor activities will
be the most susceptible.

* Car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of
minutes.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take extra precautions...if you work or spend time outside. When
possible...reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when
possible and drink plenty of water.

To reduce risk during outdoor work...the occupational safety and
health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks
in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
emergency...call 9 1 1.

An Excessive Heat Warning means that a prolonged period of
dangerously hot temperatures will occur. The combination of hot
temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a dangerous
situation in which heat illnesses are likely. Drink plenty of
fluids...stay in an air-conditioned room...stay out of the sun...
and check up on relatives and neighbors.

Young children and pets should never be left unattended in
vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true during
warm or hot weather when car interiors can reach lethal
temperatures in a matter of minutes.
